1953 $10 Silver Certificate Blue Seal VG-VF

Redeemable For Silver On-Demand

This 1953 $10 Certificate is from the last series of government notes you could trade in at the bank for ten silver dollars! In fact, you could exchange this note for its face value in silver up until 1968. They were still — and remain — legal tender, but nowadays you won’t get silver in return. Thanks to the Silver Act of 1963 that ended traditional silver currency notes, whenever these beautiful notes were exchanged, however, most were quickly destroyed by the government, meaning very few exist today in any condition.

The Classic Portrait Of Alexander Hamilton

The front of the note features John Trumbull’s classic portrait of Alexander Hamilton and the back has a view of the historic U.S. Treasury building. Each note features a stark blue seal and blue serial numbers. The 1953 series is tougher to find than the 1934 series due to simple numbers — just 12.96 million 1953 Series $10 Silver Certificates were printed compared to the 160 million $10 Certificates from the 1934 Series.

Redeemed For The Promise Of United States Silver

You’ll love perusing the fine print on this note that reads: “This Certifies That There Is On Deposit In The Treasury Of The United States Of America Ten Dollars In Silver Payable To The Bearer On Demand.” Plus, each 1953 $10 Silver Certificate available here also comes in Very Good to Very Fine (VG–VF) condition meaning they were once redeemed for the note’s promise of genuine cash-on-the-barrel United States silver! Quantities are limited to act now to get yours!
